Natural warmth
Heat pumps ensure that our heating comes from natural sources. For example, from the air and the ground. This way, none of the heat gets wasted!

Let that sun shine!
Many of our hotels are equipped with solar panels. Added together, we have almost an entire football field of solar panels on our roofs. So let that sun shine!
